Guide to Community School Transformation
Based on best practices, research, and implementation "lessons learned," the Guide to  Community School Transformation provides an overview of the community school foundation blocks and pillars, as well as a roadmap for starting community school transformation, including information about convening an advisory board and that team's roles and the responsibilities of the resource coordinator. This Guide is an evolving tool, so to make suggestions or to provide feedback, please contact Melissa Trumbull Mitchell at melissa@ilcommunityschools.org. Please also check back -- the Guide will be expanded over time to include sample tools and expanded sections. Click here to access the Guide to Community School Transformation. 

If you have ideas, solutions, or resources to share that would be useful to others implementing the community school model, then please contact Greg Hall at
